Lucy made several revelations as she spoke to the Slater family barrister - including what the pair's final text said.
The coroner read out a message Lucy sent Jay that read: "Go back to wherever the f*** you have just come from before it gets boiling."
She also believes that Jay gave no indication that he was in trouble or had a bad experience at the Airbnb where he spent his final hours.
But during their final phone call at around 8.30am, Jay did tell her he didn't know where he was and that he "couldn't go back".
The 20-year-old added that Jay's decision making may have been impaired due to the alcohol and drugs he had taken the night before.
Lucy and Brad Hargreaves, friends Jay was on holiday with, and Ayub Qassim and Steven Roccas, who Jay went to the Airbnb with, all failed to attend the first inquest hearing in May.
Lucy's family revealed she was on holiday on the very same island where Jay died and totally unaware the inquest was going on.
An emotional plea from Debbie to trace them and compel them to give evidence prompted coroner Dr James Adeley to postpone the inquest until today.
Debbie told the hearing in May: "There are things that we want to question. We want these people in front of us.
"My son went on holiday and didn't come back so there are questions we need to ask. Please."
Lucy's hearing comes after Brad spoke to the court and convicted drug dealer Qassim also said his side of the story.
Qassim, one of the final people to see Jay alive, addressed the hearing via videolink from another country.
Jay's body was found in a ravine in the remote Rural de Teno National Park last July after an agonising 29-day search.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay flew to the Spanish island last June to attend the NRG music festival in Playa de las Americas with two friends, Lucy and Brad.
After a night of partying on June 17, the teen travelled to an Airbnb apartment in Masca with two men - Qassim and Roccas.
Jay, of Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, phoned Brad after he left the Airbnb at around 8am and attempted to make the treacherous walk to his holiday apartment in sweltering heat.
